There was no disgrace here, only questions of judgment.
I question John effin Kerry’s judgment too. And Johnny Benedict Murtha’s judgement too. And in Murtha’s case, I’ll call him a disgrace.
But you have to admit, their being accorded hero status for no other reason than we are slim on heros, is not good military practice and can be counter productive.
And in this case, no trashing of the man, just the decisions that lead up to what, in my opinion, is a solidification of a decline in standards.
Just an old sailor’s opinion, discount it any way you see fit.
It has been a good debate, I have seen your posts before, and there is more we agree on than disagree.
Have a good Easter.
LT Osborn achieved his hero status the old fashioned way, he earned it.
Have a good Easter as well. Cheers.
